We heard about Team Forest from a word-of-mouth recommendation from our good friends. From the moment we met them we were impressed with how knowledgeable, supportive, and organized they were. Ana and team were also "no pressure" from the beginning, which we really appreciated as we were slow to get started. But when things ramped up and we started to be more demanding of their time and attention, they were incredibly responsive, helpful, and never made us feel guilty for yanking them all over Alameda to look at places we were excited about. When we got serious about a place, they provided the right information we needed to make a go/no-go decision. Ana held our hands every step of the way and showed us homes when we couldn't make open house times, Pascal would examine disclosures for red flags, crawl under houses to check the foundation, and check the quality of "home prep" repairs to ensure we weren't walking into a money pit. Adam jumped in as needed to show us houses when our schedules with Ana didn't align. Throughout the whole process, they remained focused on helping us find a home that met our needs and within our budget that we could fall in love with. When offer time came, Ana knew all the right things to say to the seller's agent to tip the scales in our favor and get our offer accepted, even in a very competitive market. All in all, working with Ana, Pascal and Adam was a real pleasure. We couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend Team Forest to anyone looking to find their next home!

Ana and Team Forest have been the best part of what could be a really demoralizing real estate market. I know conventional wisdom says to interview several agents…we wandered into Ana’s office wanting to write a same day offer on a house we’d just seen. From the minute we stumbled into the office saying we had a “real estate emergency”, Ana and her team took such amazing care of us. We spent well over an hour together that impromptu day and we have never considered another agent for buying or selling. Ana and her team recently guided us through the purchase process for our forever home and helped us sell our home off market, going from obtaining disclosures to presenting an offer in less than a week, all while we were on vacation. Going above and beyond is just standard procedure for them from Pascal reviewing everything that might be problematic at a house, ensuring that you think with your head and not just your heart, to helping us get rid of the things we no longer need. The team has seemingly endless resources for everything you might need, saving time and money. I used to think being a real estate agent would be an easy and lucrative gig that anyone could do….whoo boy was I wrong about that! This team earned every penny and proved that an exceptional agent works 24/7. Ana reviewed the final offer with us after 10 on a Friday night and she did it in amazing good humor. Couldn’t have done it without Team Forest!

Ana and the team were fantastic for the whole experience, from our first consult, all the way to closing the final deal. I felt like Ana and Pascal were partners in every aspect of the house sale and I have come away feeling very happy! High recommended.

As an individual who came from the business, having sold a real estate brokerage and currently in real estate development I can say that my experience with Katie Pratt was phenomenal. She is one of the most thorough, hard working, knowledgeable and data driven agents I have ever had the pleasure of working with. There was a lot of pressure coming from me to get into a home and to find another investment property. She responded with getting me ratified on 2 properties in less than 2 weeks. Given the amount of pressure and deadlines I was under to acquire more properties she was able to handle both transactions with grace and catch issues in the contract, most agents in my experience would have missed. Katie takes her business relationships very seriously, and as a result she was an absolute pleasure to work with. I look forward to doing many more transactions with her.

Caitlin is by far and away the best realtor my wife and I worked with in the process of finding our new home. We were looking to buy a house in the East Bay Area that fit the very narrow and specific criteria we had in mind, and after searching with numerous other local realtors for well over a years, with little to no results, we were ready to throw our hands up in resignation -- and then we were introduced to Caitlin. She invited us to her office, where we sat down over a cup of coffee and discussed in detail what we were looking for in a home. She then catered her search around these criteria and proceeded to show us houses that fit these set parameters . In just a few weeks, she showed us the house that we fell in love with, and she worked tirelessly with us to successfully purchase it for a great value in a highly competitive market. We love our new home, and we owe it all to Caitlin. We couldn't recommend her more!

We had a wonderful experience working with Azadeh Yazdi to buy our home. In a tough and competitive market, she was always in our corner and helped us navigate the process with confidence. She was prompt, responsive, and clear in her communication, which made a stressful process feel much more manageable. Beyond helping us secure our house, she also connected us with excellent referrals for our loan, an interior designer, and another realtor to help us sell. Those recommendations were incredibly helpful and made the overall transition much smoother. We felt well-supported throughout the process and would happily recommend Azadeh Yazdi to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Azadeh helped us get our first house, a huge milestone for us! Getting a house in the Bay Arwa is nuts in any case but when it’s your first home, you really need someone who “knows the drill” and can walk the line between your goals and the reality of the moment. Azadeh did this and we were confident we put our best foot forward, even in the houses that we didn’t get. When we reflect our house, it feels like the house we always were meant to get, not in a “destiny/universe” kind of way (not that there’s anything wrong with that), but the house we missed on were because we didn’t stretch into something we couldn’t afford, or if we could afford it and didn’t, it’s because it wasn’t the house we wanted to invest in. We couldn’t be more confident that we have the exact house at the exact valuation for us, and we believe that Azadeh’s experience in East Bay real estate is what got us there. Seeing how elated she was when we got our house confirmed that she was in it for the right reasons with us.

This is our second experience working with Azadeh. I can tell just all the bests about Azadeh: she is extremely kind, motivated, and go-getter. She dedicates time, energy and considers the needs of her clients. We have our dream homes from her!
